On November 20, Nika Tang designs were presented at the Artumnal Gathering fundraiser in support of the Black Rock Arts Foundation, the largest such event to date. The project is entitled “Spirited Beings”, a four piece collection of mythical creatures from the tales of magic and enchantment. Horned and armored creatures were shown wearing gothic and structural pieces in leather, lace, satin, wool and crepe.
The pieces incorporate themes of repetition and radiation to form warrior like uniforms while incorporating themes of femininity, strength, and dark power. Motifs of bridges, circles, tribal art work, and futuristic elements can be seen.
This collection was created by Nika Tang, with help of her team, Josie Adele, Anton Stroganov, Mark Ostrom, and Jesse Kauppila.
We were invited to repeat our performance at the San Francisco Decompression party, which we were happy to do. Here are some of the shots of the performance.

“Designer Showcase – Cycles”
Opel Productions and Syd Gris celebrate their 7th anniversary by presenting their annual fashion and music event “Designer Showcase” on May 1st at the Mezzanine here in San Francisco.
This show celebrates fashion in a very unique way by presenting local designers in a midnight runway and showcase their work. The theme is based on cycles that represent changing in time and as a symbol of re-birth in many cultures. With this, Opel, Syd, designers, and guests are celebrating merits, creativity, and ideas that’ll be a part of the future. Inspirations come from classic styles, flirty attitude, anime costumes, modern silhouettes, lace and trims, and playful details gather up distinctive items like feathered hats and hair pieces, jewelry, vivid clothing, and costume garments come to take part of an outstanding all-nighter show.
Designers include Ella Mental, Little Red Sparrow, Kayo, Dandelions & Dean, miss velvet cream x Estar x Fluidance, Seventh Eve, Vindyco, and Invisible Hero Industries.
The runway show will promptly begin at 12am
